Van Gogh & Japan

This event has ended.

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was profoundly interested in Japan. From his Paris period to his early days in Arles, he collected ukiyo-e prints and writings on Japanese culture. Conversely, Japanese artists and intellectuals became enamored of Van Gogh after his death and made pilgrimages to his grave in Auvers-sur-Oise in France. This exhibition explores the mutual fascination between Van Gogh and Japan, presenting enlightening new perspectives through the display of roughly 40 of Van Gogh’s oil paintings and sketches, accompanied 50 or some works by Japanese ukiyo-e artists and Van Gogh’s contemporaries, as well as various historical materials.
